Can you think of some examples of small, seemingly "inconsequential" acts that adults may perform in front of their children that can have a profound impact on the child?

Someone I know created a facebook page for her 9 year old daughter. Right in front of the kid she said, “Oh, I told them she was 18 or they wouldn’t have let me make an account for her.”

That was so wrong on SO many different levels, in my opinion. Just making a fb page for her was wrong, IMO, but to so casually lie like it was no big deal was really a shock to me.
